Sir, I would like to bring to your attention a wonderful poetry book that I have recently read. It is called Poems from Grace Cottage, and is written by a local poet called Patricia Huth Ellis (Charlbury). This is the first poetry book that I have read since leaving school 30 years ago.
It was lent to me by a friend who also loved it and was desperate for me to read it too.
My initial reaction was "Oh no not poetry!", but it's a small book, and I thought I would give it a go. It's absolutely brilliant! I have it by my bedside, and read and re-read it most nights.
The poems are very readable, and cover a broad variety of subjects. I found I could relate to many of them and was moved to tears by one of them. I am so excited to be reading poetry after all these years, that I wanted to share my experience with others.
Katie Townsend, Chadlington
